Social Insecurity
With the election year officially in high gear, here’s what you need to know about the hot-button topic of Social Security.
Currency ETFs Hold Their Own
NEW YORK (ETF Expert) — The mainstream financial media may have caught a break in 2011. Neither the S&P 500 nor the Dow fell more than 20% from respective highs, meaning that nobody ran with the “Bear Is Back” headline. It follows that the March 2, 2009 lows still represent the start of a bull market uptrend.
Not surprisingly, many have chosen to wistfully recollect the 90%-plus, since-inception gains for U.S. stocks. Meanwhile, others wisely remind us that substantial corrections of 10% to 20% occurred in each of the 3 years — 2009, 2010, 2011.
Interestingly enough, there have been a number of cat-skinning ways to achieve admirable profits in the period. The Australian dollar via the CurrencyShares Australian Dollar picked up three-fourths of the SPDR S&P 500 Trust’s upside for roughly three-fifths the beta risk. That’s a pretty good deal for highly correlated assets in the currency “carry trade.”

Investors Must Keep Time on Their Side
MIAMI (TheStreet) — Time is such a valuable commodity that it’s a shame when investors squander it. Yet many investors do, wasting a resource that can’t ever be recovered.
Time is an investor’s most valuable ally because returns increase exponentially over time — as close to magic as most of us will ever see.

What is the True Cost of Purchasing a Vehicle?
When shopping for a car, you should look for the lowest price for the best quality. Right? Well, sort of … in the back of your mind, you realize that, all other things being equal, the car which gets better gas mileage is worth more than the one which doesn’t. But how much more?
And what other factors should you consider? Depreciation rates? Cost of insurance? How about maintenance and repairs? If all of this is giving you a headache, don’t despair. Edmunds.com has done much of the work for you, by calculating the true cost for owning any new or used car five years.
I appreciate the work Edmunds has put into their “True Cost to Own” (TCO) projections, but I advise caution about simply taking all of their numbers at face value. You will need to use discernment because some of these numbers will apply to your circumstances and some won’t.

They just hit a multi-year high…
Daily Trade Alert
Roachy Roundup Time! 5 Hot Stocks, 5 big wins!
Just a quick roundup on my 5 for 5 blog from this morning.
Link if you missed the pre-market 5 for 5. http://www.stockroach.com/tgif-its-senoritas-hot-stock-roundup-mnel-atrn-bpax-motr-and-mvis/
Atrinsic, inc. (Pink: ATRN) brings yet another round of wins if you were late to the party. It gapped down at open allowing for some very nice cheaps in the .055 range and hit an intraday high of .085 for some fast track gains upwards of 54.5 %. I would still keep my eyes peeled on this puppy because the money is flowing nicely, and it appears to be consolidating at higher levels.
Mission NewEnergy (Nasdaq: NMEL) gapped up nicely at open today to hit a high of $ 1.25 from yesterday’s alert price of .83 for an overnight quickie though brought in gains upwards of 50% for very saavy roaches. Unfortunately this one turned into a stinker midday and some dilution might be occuring because it broke supports on heavy volume and just was not trading in a very healthy manner. This is why we always lock in those gains darlings!
BioSante Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: BPAX) finally broke it’s 1st major resistance at .70 and closes up 8% over the previous day at a very respectable power hour last second push at .74 , and with their FDA catalyst coming soon aren’t you glad I let you all know about BPAX when it was all you could buy .45s? I’m sure they look cheaper than anything on the McDonald’s $ 1 menu right about now haha. Even those of you that bought the .60s are starting to sound less morose. Lot less crying and much more buying going on at BPAX. Good times, and dollarland… you can almost smell it from here.
